Virtually all galleries, museums, and showrooms are closed for the foreseeable future. The Metropolitan Museum has announced that it does not expect to reopen until July. Original projections that some spaces might be able to open in early April now seem sadly optimistic.
There is one online event scheduled for today, from the Center for Book Arts:
